Mum who ordered meal-for-seven in Tenerife is speechless when bill arrives

Holidays can often be a pricey affair, with many of us needing to budget carefully before taking off for sunnier climes. After shelling out for flights and digs, the cost of eating out is another financial hurdle.

So imagine the surprise of one mum-of-seven when she took her brood for a meal in Tenerife and found the bill to be far less than expected. Sharing her experience on TikTok, she detailed how her family feasted on steak, pizza, and drinks, only to be astounded by the modest €54.84 (about £45) total cost.

TikTok users were just as taken aback by the bargain dinner. The story serves as a reminder that delicious meals need not break the bank. Replies poured in with one user estimating, "That would be £150 easy in Turkey."
